A sequence is an infinite, ordered list of numbers that is often defined by a function. For example, the sequence \(\\{2,4,6,8, \ldots\\}\) is specified by the function \(f(n)=2 n\), where \(n=1,2,3, \ldots .\) The limit of such a sequence is \(\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} f(n)\), provided the limit exists. All the limit laws for limits at infinity may be applied to limits of sequences. Find the limit of the following sequences, or state that the limit does not exist. \(\left\\{4,2, \frac{4}{3}, 1, \frac{4}{5}, \frac{2}{3}, \ldots\right\\},\) which is defined by \(f(n)=\frac{4}{n},\) for \(n=1,2,3, \ldots\)
If a function \(f\) represents a system that varies in time, the existence of \(\lim _{t \rightarrow \infty} f(t)\) means that the system reaches a steady state (or equilibrium). For the following systems, determine if a steady state exists and give the steady-state value. The amplitude of an oscillator is given by \(a(t)=2\left(\frac{t+\sin t}{t}\right)\).
Evaluate \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)\) and \(\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)\). Then state the horizontal asymptote(s) of \(f\). Confirm your findings by plotting \(f\). $$f(x)=\frac{2 e^{x}+3 e^{2 x}}{e^{2 x}+e^{3 x}}$$
Determine the end behavior of the following transcendental functions by evaluating appropriate limits. Then provide a simple sketch of the associated graph, showing asymptotes if they exist. $$f(x)=|\ln x|$$
Use the following instructions to determine the end behavior of \(f(x)=\frac{e^{x}+e^{2 x}}{e^{2 x}+e^{3 x}}\). a. Evaluate \(\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} f(x)\) by first dividing the numerator and denominator by \(e^{3 x}\). b. Evaluate \(\lim _{x \rightarrow-\infty} f(x)\) by first dividing the numerator and denominator by \(e^{2 x}\). c. Give the horizontal asymptote(s). d. Graph \(f\) to confirm your work in parts (a)-(c).
